GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I went to independence high school in 2006 And graduated in 2008. I was having a hard time in school at that time and independence really helped me achieve the diploma that I needed to succeed. Even though I was a student that was having trouble in home and school, Independent high school really helped me in ways that other schools could not have.
